Your research paper should consist of approximately 1500 words. The basis
of good research paper is clear structure, coherent and consistent analysis of the problem, good examples/illustrations, without
mistakes in spelling, grammar, style and syntax. Research papers generally require you to include three main sections:
introduction, body, and conclusion. Some longer papers may require
the use of headings for Introduction and Conclusion, as well as for sections of the body, whereas shorter papers may not.
(Do not use "Body" as a heading; use headings relevant to your own content). Check the specifications for every assignment
you are set. Different subject and discipline areas may have different requirements.

The introduction should begin with the general issue and narrow down to the specifics of the problem you are discussing
in your paper. Use the introduction to provide background information about the broad subject, identify the relevant problem
or issue, and take the reader step by step to an understanding of why the specific focus you have chosen is relevant to that
subject.

An introduction usually ends with some sort of statement of your focus
(a focal statement or purpose statement). This statement tells the reader specifically what point you are going to make in
your paper, and if possible how you are going to go about doing that. You may find it helpful to write the introduction last
or at least revise it substantially after the main body of the paper has been written.

The body should follow logically from your focal statement and support it consistently. Use section headings where appropriate,
if required. Keep referring back to the focal statement with each new piece of information you bring in, to ensure that it
is relevant to the point you want to make in your paper.

The body is made up of a series of paragraphs. Paragraphs may be described
as packages of information each beginning with a topic sentence. The topic sentence defines the content or topic of the paragraph,
just as the focal statement for the paper defines the specific topic of the essay. The topic of the paragraph is then expanded
with sentences which may develop the topic by providing examples, details, evidence or analogies.

Make sure the ideas flow clearly from one sentence to the next. Use
illustrations, diagrams and tables where they clarify your text or are more efficient than text. A broader concluding sentence
for the paragraph may sometimes be provided to tie the information together and remind the reader how it relates to the focus
of the paper.

Information in the conclusion moves from the specific to the
general. The conclusion must not simply repeat information given earlier, but must synthesize the ideas in the research paper
to form a response to the issue raised by the paper topic:

Restate the focal statement of the research paper.

Summarize the main
points of the supporting paragraphs as they are relevant to your synthesis.

End with a broader
concluding statement about how the assignment question relates to the more general issues described in the introduction.

The general rule
is that no new information should be brought into the conclusion: everything in it should follow logically from the information
presented to the reader in your research paper.
